- Among the Joshua. I recently had an opportunity to spend a day in Joshua Tree National Park filming and wanted to focus on telling a story about the importance of nature and the fragility surrounding these iconic monoliths of the Mojave Desert. We all have the power to change the future, and ensure that this incredible yucca, the Joshua Tree, remains on the landscape for generations to come. These amazing trees are really not trees, but rather one of the tallest members of the yucca family and are threatened by climate change. I filmed this all on the new Sony A7s III, a superb tool for the job, along with the Atomos Ninja V external recorder, and paired this combo with th Sigma 24-70 f/2.8 DG DN Art Lens and the Sigma 60-600mm f/4.5-6.3. A link to the rest of my equipment is below.
A "Behind the Scenes" of this video is coming out next so stay tuned!
"Among The Joshua" won three awards! Best Documentary, Best Cinematography, and Best Director at the 2021 Show Low International Film Festival in Show Low, Arizona.

Great story... you almost lost it with the cheesy rhetoric about falling in love and then gracefully and even amazingly recovered beginning at 5:00 with "In such a harsh environment, where it's difficult for life to find a way, it somehow does." was excellence in action Mr Lacy. Keep doing what you do which seems to be following a passion to connect with nature on an amazing level and a mission to produce engaging and entertaining shows. I’m officially a fan Sir.
Thank you for the true uncut and authentic review! I truly appreciate it! I’m glad you enjoyed the turnaround and that my passion for making a difference for nature rose to the top! Glad to have you join the adventure!
Crying so hard watching this. Joshua tree is a place that I can’t explain. It healed me and I have so much respect and love for the dirt and plants and every animal there. Thank u for making this 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I’m glad you enjoyed it and that it moved you, thank you for sharing. Joshua Tree is truly such an incredible place! Hugs!
Great video, enjoyed seeing a place I will likely never visit through your eyes.
Thanks! It's truly a remarkable experience to visit. I hope someday you get the opportunity to travel out this way and see it all. But I'm glad I could share it through film!
I think you got it right, the key to saving nature is falling in love with it.
It's something I think is truly what connects us to it, weather it's a love for wildlife, wild places, or just being out in it, it's a love for nature that will save it. :)
I care. Thanks for doing what you do
Thank you Lily, we can all do our part right? :) - Alan
Beautiful! Thank you for this video. I can't wait to go back to Joshua Tree again in October🙂
You are so welcome!
Lovely film! Would love to go out and adventure there with you! Keep these beautiful films coming. Keep it up!
Thanks Benjamin! That would be a lot of fun, perhaps we could collaborate on something in the future! Definitely stay in touch! Same with you, keep up the great work! I know how it is! haha :)
@@FilmingTheWild Sound like a plan batman! Would love to travel more when we can and make some more content. Will keep in touch.
This should not just have nine hundred views, but nine hundred thousands! What a wonderful video, great work and keep it up.
Thank you for the kind words, I truly appreciate them! I'm glad you enjoyed this film, thank you for sharing!
Awesome! Very inspiring.
Thank you! I appreciate it!
Beautiful.
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
great video！
Thank you so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I hope one day I'll be able to make such a film about the region in which I live. Great work! 👍
Thank you for the kind words Tobias! You can definitely do it! Keep at it!
Thank you for doing the work you do!
Of course! We all can do our part no matter how little! :)
You always seem to select just the right music to accompany your films and this was no exception. I appreciate your love of nature and wish more people felt the same way. Or, at least, the world placed more weight upon those that love nature than those who exploit it for money. Keep up the great work!
Thank you so much Dolores! Your words always inspire me to keep making new films! I hope these films can touch the hearts of people to fall in love with nature like a lot of us have!
Awesome! Do you need a permit to film here if you just run and gun, skeleton crew\cast(2-3) people?
Its always smart to check National Parks before going. But a recent ruling in court has made it possible to film without permits in National Parks if the filming activities are "Low Impact" e.t.c heres the link: www.nps.gov/aboutus/news/commercial-film-and-photo-permits.htm
@@FilmingTheWild thanks! How busy was it when you filmed there? I’m thinking about shooting a short film at hidden valley trail, just myself shooting and maybe 2 actors. Run and gun style, just my gimbal and camera.
@@drowranger7861 it wasn't that busy, certainly people, but not unmanageable. I camped at one of the camp sites on the north side and was in the park at sunup. Granted, it was early July so pretty warm, so beat the heat that way.
@@FilmingTheWild just watched your BTS. Didn't look too busy. I like to do wild life filmmaking one day, need a long lens. Thanks for the inspiration!
@@drowranger7861 of course! Im glad you enjoyed that BTS. Glad I could inspire! And although a long lens always is great, you can still use shorter ones, just requires a little ingenuity to get the shots!
Beautiful! Thank you for this video. I can't wait to go back to Joshua Tree again in October🙂
Thank you so much! It's truly an incredible place! Enjoy it when you go!
